Introduction
Talents in the game fall under five main categories and are available for purchase with Talent Points, which you acquire by raising your Wizard level. In Hogwarts Legacy, there are five different Talents:
- Spells
- Dark Arts
- Core
- Stealth
- Room of Requirement
Each of the Talents is further divided into 3 levels; 5, 16, and 22. The players will unlock sub-talents within each category upon reaching these levels. By now, we hope it’s clear what Talents are so that we will rank them according to their strengths.
S Tier
S Tier.The S rank entries of our Hogwarts Legacy Talents Tier List are some of the most powerful talents in Hogwart Legacy. As expected, they will cost more talent points; to be fair, it’s worth spending on how easy they will make your journey.
Protego Expertise
With this talent, you can shoot projectiles back at the opposition after each successful block. It would be a great move to counterattack after blocking, and at level 16, it becomes accessible. We thought a move that allows you to counter back after a block deserves the highest ranking; thus, we put it in the S Tier.
| Level Requirement | 16 |
|---|---|
| Spell Requirement | N/A |
Transformation Mastery
With the Transformation Mastery, you can transform enemies into random objects that will explode quickly and can be unlocked at level 22.
| Level Requirement | 22 |
|---|---|
| Spell Requirement | Transformation |
Avada Kedvara Mastery
Ok, not here might be a must-buy sub-talent from the Dark Arts Talent and it is worth all your Talent Points. Whenever you kill an enemy with Avada Kedvara Mastery, all the cursed enemies will also be killed automatically.
| Level Requirement | 22 |
|---|---|
| Spell Requirement | Avada Kedavra |
Bombarda Mastery
Bombarda Mastery can be unlocked at level 16, and the players can create big explosions in the targeted area. It can clear a large group of enemies at once, so we believe it needs to be placed in the S Tier.
| Level Requirement | 16 |
|---|---|
| Spell Requirement | Bombarda |
A Tier
A Tier.Yes, several of these talents could have easily been placed in the S Tier, but we don’t think they can quite make it to the highest rank and will therefore have to settle for a position in the A Tier due to a few minor shortcomings.
Swift
The player will become temporarily invisible thanks to the spell, then reappear. It’s a fun spell to use to fool your enemies, but due to its drawback, which is in power for a short time, it got a place below in the A Tier of our rankings. Swift can be unlocked at level 5.
| Level Requirement | 5 |

| Quest Requirement | Jackdaw’s Rest |

Protego Mastery
Protego Mastery can only be obtained if you have reached level 22. You’ll be able to send back a blast after each successful block, which might break the defenses of numerous enemies, so it’s worth your time and Talent Points.

Blood Curse
One of the best possible talents to spend your Talent Points on is Blood Curse which will allow you to deal damage to the nearby enemies when you strike an already cursed enemy. You wouldn’t want to be missing on such a spell, and it is worth spending your Talent Points on and is available for purchase at level 5.

D Tier
D Tier.The weakest talents will occupy the D Tier, and it’s best to neglect them as they will not benefit you that much on your journey.
Spell Knowledge 1
It can be unlocked fairly early into the game (level 5) and is one of the best early-game Talents. You can add another Spell Set in the bottom right corner of your screen using Spell Knowledge. As a result, you won’t need to unequip and re-equip spells constantly. Instead, you can create a second spell set that can be instantly donned during combat.

|---|---|

Sense of Secrecy 1
Sense of Secrecy 1 is amongst the 2 Sense of Secrecy spells which doesn’t do much and only adds up to your stealth mode. It doesn’t provide anything special, and you might want to skip purchasing it.

That about does it for our Hogwarts Legacy Talents Tier List, where we ranked all the Talents alongside their sub-talents, keeping our experience in mind. Yes, it might vary from person to person as we all have different experiences, but we tried to stay as general as possible so our readers could get the information from a neutral point of view.
